Doesn’t Marquette have 4 ?

No, they're 3-2. Xavier, Georgia, Maryland are their Q1 wins

Three according to ncaa.

Oh, they beat Purdue and Wisconsin and I thought one or both would be Quad 1.

I feel like both of those will be eventually will move up as these numbers start to normalize with a larger sample, but right now those are both home games against the #34 and #36 teams and need to be top 30

 

[auror]

Both those games used to be Q1. And as said, might be again eventually.

We currently have 4 Q1 wins (Gonzaga, Baylor, @Texas, @Butler) as of today's update (tied with Oregon for 2nd most...Auburn has the most with 6).

We now have 4 Quad 1 wins. Tied with Oregon with 2nd most. Auburn has 6.

Remember when a bunch of people (not here) were complaining that we played a cupcake non-conference?

Not the entire non-conference but the cupcakes were like high school teams.

TBF Stonehill is much improved from last year. Still a cupcake, but a NET ~270's cupcake versus a 350's one like last year. I think they were literally one of the worst teams in D1 last year.

They weren't good I agree but we balanced it out just fine.

Looking ahead at the schedule it’s going to be interesting to see what our BE record is going into the the Feb 1 clash with Marquette. Both teams should be favorites in their next 8, which could make for a real hum dinger. I’m sure both will see an unexpected loss or two, but would think squarely a top 10 matchup given the teams ahead of us having conference gauntlets.

Funny you’re happy with the 270 one. Last time I looked 5 of them were above 300 and 3 were above 350.

The way to game the NET unfortunately is to play 5 teams sub-300. The rest would be against major conference opponents. Butler, cough, forgot to do this and got stung twice and almost a third time.

that's one part. also need to aim to play as many teams on the low end of their quadrants as possible. so probably tournament bubble teams on neutral courts.

The way to game the NET is to be good at basketball. There‘s no magic to sub 300 games, some are positive, some are negative.

EvanMiya has us 12th, but added a special icon to our team.

That’s going to be a thing. It’s weird.

He and Hurley had a playful? disagreement about UConns preseason ranking.
